The lack of education around student loans when I got mine is crazy. None. And it was the ONLY way I was able to go to college…I was sunk before I started.

I make more money serving/bartending than I make as a lawyer, and had I have not gone to law school, I would have had $50k less debt to pay off too - so I probably could have bought a house by now! Instead I'll be stuck in this cycle for 20 years

Yep it really is. It just keeps us buried in debt that we can never pay off and it feels like they are kicking us while we are down.

Folks making more than £100K: How do you deal with the 60% effective tax rate on the 100-125K bracket? (HMRC gradually reduces your £12,750 personal tax-free allowance to £0.)

This is the first time it is happening to me. With one month to go until the end of the tax year, I'm thinking of making a one-off extra pension contribution next payroll.

Any other effective strategies with only one month to go?

No crazy luck in crypto or investments. Just basic saving, 401k, ESPP and low expenses. Next step is to start investing by myself and taking some risks!!!

I got a decent deal on a small 1 bed in a luxury building (hell’s kitc). Should I do a 12 month lease or 24m?

Got the rent negotiated to under 3k + free amenities for a year (gym, pool, etc.). I’m afraid rent will atleast go back to the original price (+5%) and then some. The building has some sort of rent control but that’s predicted to go away in less than 1 year as per the lease. The legal rent limit is way higher.

Would love some perspective on renewal experience after 1 year. TIA.

Assuming the following holds tomorrow, I expect we will get a call of AZ around 11:15am ET, and NV and PA around 12:15pm ET.

NV: Biden wins >60% of next batch of ballots in Clark County
PA: Biden extends lead beyond 35K ballots

My intuition is that the networks want to call all three to provide extra margin for error given the stakes and fine margins.
